The point is there should have been someone else on the roster to play corner. Most teams have backups at that position. The Bills kept six safeties instead -- four backups for two starting safeties, and only one backup for three starting corners. Yeah. It's hard to believe that people saw McKenzie out there yesterday and still feel we're in a just fine position depth-wise. I mean, there's all the evidence you need.

"There's only so long you can keep a dog on a leash." -Duke Williams One of the more puzzling aspects of the 2019 Bills coaching staff is their refusal to incorporate Williams into the game-day roster despite everything he brings to the table: a much-needed dimension in the passing game, a physical presence in the running game, and emotional leadership on the field. This guy is a dog; the fans know it and chant "Duuuuuuuke" every time he catches the ball. He won the Tennessee game for us and then went to the bench for 10 weeks, only to resurface today and put up over 100 yards. Sean McDermott needs to activate Williams for the playoffs.

I love Beane and McDermott and the job they've done overall. I support them going forward. But I still feel the need to draw attention to a critical mistake they've made. McDermott seemed borderline embarrassed about it in his press conference last night, so hopefully it won't happen again, but the fact that it was a mistake of this magnitude does cause some concern. As I recall, the Bills were the only team in the NFL to carry only four CBs on their opening-day roster. I think everyone assumed this was just a temporary thing and they'd bring a veteran back after week 1, but it never happened. This meant the Bills were very thin at this position throughout the season and were very lucky to avoid significant injuries, until yesterday when they had to play two starters (Wallace and T. Johnson) deep into a meaningless game due to "a lack of bodies" as McDermott phrased it after the game. With Wallace in a walking boot, it probably means we are walking into the playoffs -- against a potent passing attack which we can only hope does not include Will Fuller -- with two boundary corners, a banged-up slot corner, and only safeties to back them up. The Texans will be looking at this as the Bills' weakness to attack. Stills could have a big game. McDermott said after the game that you hate to be in the position to have to play those guys like they did yesterday. Newsflash, McDermott/Beane: you didn't have to. You should have had a backup plan so you didn't have to risk the thinnest position on your roster going into the playoffs. Now you have put the team in a very difficult situation, and it was entirely avoidable. Start the season with another CB, or bring someone in just to play week 17. Either way, this never should have happened.

Haha! He fell down!

And we'd probably lose since it would be in Buffalo...

Incorrect. Most likely BAL.

@Best Player Available it's true.

Bills finish 6-2 on the road and 4-4 at home. Hmm.

In Italy, it is very hard to find a free restroom.

Wow. We're sending Allen out there without Brown, Beasley, Singletary, and Knox. This seems odd. What is the point of playing Allen then?

This is really creative. Not sure what you haters are smoking; like to see you do better.

The Saturday afternoon game is currently scheduled for NBC, at least on my DirecTV guide.

Gilmore Glance. Lol

It's not all about stats.

I was going to post the same thoughts. And now an INT. Yet zero criticism from the announcers. If this were Allen, we'd be hearing all about his fatal flaws. Rodgers is definitely a player in decline.

Look at those wrinkles in everyone's foreheads. They were taking it rough.

No, the only way to get a home playoff game in the first two rounds is to win your division.

I mean, it sure looks like he is. He's very fat.

Don't he and Oliver play the same position? Wouldn't we be way too undersized with them as our starting DTs?

Florio seems to think the Bills are saving this for the playoffs. I disagree. He and Simms say the Bills will "unleash" Allen as a runner, but I really don't look for that to happen.

Complaining about Daboll... SAD!

Don't we potentially get a higher draft pick if we finish 10-6 and exit the playoffs at the same time as other teams with better records?

Looks like Barkley's two starts for us will both be against the Jets. Let's hope this one goes like the last one! Hopefully Gase will give up like he did in the finale vs. Miami last year.

Am I the only one who doesn't like this? This does two things: *Cheapens the meaning of the reception when they win big games/makes it an every game thing regardless of result *Sends the message that the fans are into moral victories and are accepting today's loss I went on and on about how great the airport reception was last week, but this strikes me as embarrassing.
